Picture 3 Picture 4 The current/ voltage characteristics of the diode shows that when voltage is negative, the diode resists the flow of current, and when voltage is positive, the current increases exponentially with change in voltage. This matches the theoretical diode characteristics as can be seen when the experimental plot is compared to the theoretical plot. The two plots are very similar. If the supply voltage is less than zero, then the
